I have used Jim many times. Long ago, he was responsive. Now he ignores or calls in sick.
Response from Southboro Appliance
"I was hospitalized on 3/11/2021. I did not ignore your call..I was unable to get to you and explained that to you. We texted back and forth. I explained I had another heart attack that required 2 more stents. I have the text messages in which I informed you of that. I chose not to go to your home because of your behavior. I thought it best to end the long friendly relationship we had in response to you treatment of me."

I have a GE convection oven. Last January 2019, the lower oven became more and more difficult to light and then it just stopped. I contacted Southborough Appliances through Angie's list shortly afterwards and was able to have Jim Moore come to my house. After analyzing the problem, Jim got right to work replacing the igniter and performing a custom repair on the heat deflector shield, which he advised me to replace. The oven worked again! Five months later, the oven continues to work with the custom fix. I was impressed by Jim's focus as he made the repair and his detailed knowledge of the GE model that I owned, including the design flaw in the heat shield that led to the failure of the igniter. I am planning on contacting him again with a problem I am having with my clothes washer.

I called Jim because our dishwasher wasn't draining properly. He diagnosed the problem as a broken drain pump. He also noticed that the dishwasher was connected to the cold water! We've lived in the house for 5 months and never knew that but it explained why our dishes never looked clean. After Jim fixed both issues for us, the dishwasher is operating better than it ever has! Thank you, Jim!

I needed to get someone over asap. I texted Jim in the evening and he responded within an hour scheduling me for the next day. He arrived on time and diagnosed the problem as a bad compressor. He provided me with a pro/con on fixing vs buying a new one. Even better he offered to drop off a spare fridge to help bridge the gap of not having a working one. Great service- would recommend

Jim responded to my email within 15 minutes of sending it. He agreed to come to my house at a time convenient for me. He arrived on time, was very personable and was able to easily diagnose the problem. He stopped the leak and re-installed my dishwasher. The job was done in about 30 minutes. His website had a coupon that I had completely forgotten about. Jim added it my order without being asked. I will definitely call Jim again should I need an appliance repair.

Jim replied promptly to my text and we set up a time to fix my dryer.  He kept me informed of his schedule and arrived on time.  He quickly figured out the problem and fixed the dryer and an awkward hose leading to the external vent.  He cleaned out the vent and made a repair. He was very tidy and a pleasure to deal with.  I would definitely use Jim again.

Jim is very knowledgeable, honest, and does quality work.  He has repaired a refrigerator and washing machine in the past.  Today he installed a new dishwasher.  His prices are very reasonable, and I recommend his service.

Jim has worked on our GE refrigerator in the past and has been great.  My wife setup an appointment well in advance to look at our double oven and microwave.  When he never showed up on the day he was supposed to come  I gave him a call and got a voicemail.  Unfortunately he was out sick and was not working on that day.  This is understandable but an advance call would have been nice so I could have gone into the office that day.  Also he never called to reschedule.  I guess his business is doing well enough that he doesn't need to keep his current customers.  Anyway I found a new company to service my appliances.

Jim scheduled an appointment for the day following my call.    I rushed home to meet him.   40 min before he was scheduled to arrive he called and left a voicemail  (I was away from my phone) indicating he had to pick up his wife and would not be able to make the appointment.   I called him back and got his voicemail.   Left a message asking him to call back if he could come the day after he scheduled the appointment.  No call back received.   It is understandable that an individual running a business will have an occasional issue that prevents them from keeping scheduled appointments.   It's not OK that they don't extend themselves to promptly reschedule.   Also in looking more thoroughly at  this provider's reviews it becomes apparent that he generally does a great job when he shows up,  but that he has a problem with keeping appointments, showing up when scheduled and managing relations with customers.   I sincerely hope he gets these under control in the future.
Response from Southboro Appliance
"Just to be clear [Removed Member Name]. My wife and small child were broken down on the Mass Pike. I can provide the invoice for the tow. I was not going to leave them stranded on the highway to go a repair an ice maker. I did mention that to you in the voice mail I left. I really felt awful for having to cancel and apologized repeatedly in the voice mail. I also mentioned that I was taking the next day off to meet up with my family for 2 days off, and apologized for the really bad timing. That you would omit these important facts is really disheartening.how is that a fair assessment of our interaction? You called late Wednesday afternoon. We set an appointment and I had every intention of keeping our scheduled appointment for late Thursday afternoon as you were not available until after 3 pm. They were broke down in the Berkshire, an hour and half away. Another point omitted by you. It really was more than "having to pick up my wife" as you put it. I really am sorry this situation caused you so much aggravation. Also, thank you for your concern. 6 negative reviews over hundreds of 5 star reviews i feel shows just how consciensous I am about my reputation and the respect I have for our customers busy lives and schedules."

My refrigerator appeared to be going so I called Southboro Appliance. Jim was able to come the same day.  He was able to get it running better but advised that my compressor was damaged.  He advised that a repair would cost $600 for the part alone and recommended that I buy a new refrigerator.  He also replaced a value on my washing machine and got it running good again.  He noticed that I had a dryer in the garage that I was planning to get rid of .a He recommended that I replace the cord and I would have a very good dryer.  He demonstrated how to replace the cord.  He charged me for repair of the washing machine but not the refrigerator. The Total including a $25 Angie's List coupon was $229.

Jim took my call and set up appointment ten days in advance. The night prior to the work he didn't answer my call or email promptly, then late night he returned call saying he's sick and can't make it, we set up another app
Response from Southboro Appliance
"Really sorry that this is how you chose to characterize the situation. II did indeed have to cancel as I was sick. I desperately tried to get to you the next day but I was still not well. I ultimately learned I had pneumonia. This is really disappointing that you would make it sound as though I just " blew you off " with no explaination. Your emails and phone calls did not go unanswered. I was not well enough to commit to a day and time at that point but I absolutely communicated this to you during business hours. Your emails that were sent at midnight were ultimately responded to the next morning. I assure you my reputation is very important to me."

"[Member Name Removed]. I have searched every conceivable inbox I have and can find no record of you trying to contact us. I looked through spam folders as well as Angie's List message inbox and find no record of a [Member Name Removed] leaving any type of message. Although phone calls do have an inherently more immediate response I, am diligent in checking and replying to customers whom initiate contact via email. i wish we could have helped with you repair concerns. Please accept my apologies if a mistake was in fact made on our end. I assure you we value every current and potentially new customer."

I called on 11/07/2014 to get our dishwasher fixed. It was running excessively long - 6-7 hours instead of 2-3. I didn't have the model number available, since I was at work. I called back on 11/09 and left a voice message with the model number. I also e-mailed a picture of the model number tag to their e-mail address. I never got a response back.

Nothing says, "Oh, crap!" like waking up in the morning to a freezer full of water. Luckily, I found Southboro Appliance on Angie's List.
Jim answered right away and after a few trouble shooting questions, we made an appointment for the afternoon.  He was prompt and professional and gave the frig a series of tests to find the problem.  Unfortunately, a previous repair had left a sensor vulnerable to water, which shorted out the costly electronic board.  Fortunately, Jim had done his research on the make and model during our telephone Q & A session, so he had the necessary replacement parts with him.  (As a bonus, he showed me the burnt out board and exactly where the fail was - something a lot of technicians would not bother to explain.)
Within an hour or so, the frig was chillin' and so was I.  Thanks, Jim!
